International Dot Day - 9/15/22
Dear Eagles,
We would love for all our Eagles to show their creativity and courage and wear polka-dots on Thursday to celebrate Dot Day. We will be showing our creativity, courage, and collaboration throughout the day and can't wait to share the art work our Eagles have created for our cafeteria wall.
Have a great week,
Lisa Frison

Reminders for Arrival and Dismissal Procedures!
- Please make sure your student is at school on time each day. Attendance is very important for your child and being on time is a big part of that. The bell rings at 7:50 a.m. and students should be in class ready to start their day when that bell rings.
- The car rider line ends at 7:50 a.m. If your child is not in the building you will need to drive around to the front of the building and sign them in late.
- The front drive is for our Buses and our Special Needs Program students only. Please do not pull into the front drive during arrival and dismissal times. We need to make sure we can load and unload our students safely.

District Volunteer Raptor Initiative
Katy ISD is excited to announce the implementation of the District’s Raptor Volunteer Initiative for the upcoming school year. Beginning October 1, the district will require all volunteers serving on campus during the instructional day to register with the district through its Raptor security system.
Raptor ensures quick and easy volunteer registration allowing individual volunteers to create and manage a personal volunteer profile. In addition, the Raptor Volunteer Initiative will:
- Provide an additional layer of protection for Katy ISD students, staff, volunteers, and campus visitors
- Unite all district volunteers into one Katy ISD volunteer community
- Measure and communicate the positive impact of Katy ISD volunteer organizations
Once registered and approved, individual volunteers can:
- Submit and track hours via their volunteer profile for every Katy ISD campus at which they volunteer
- The system also provides quick and easy submission of individual off-campus volunteer hours
The volunteer registration requirement will extend to all volunteers serving on or off-campus, during or after the instructional day effective January 4.
Join our volunteer community and register today!
